Review by: Michaela & Dani, Zofingen / CH (stayed: July 2009)

Hospitality as we did not belive is still existing. Luxury rooms and a 5* kitchen... sitting in the livingroom having breakfast and watch the whales playing.. or having a glass of wine in front of the cheminee in the spacy lobby for guests...In this house nothing is missing..everything is there..even the weatherforecast for next day is placed on the bed every evening :-) Very charmful owner, whom live their passion. Would return tomorrow...but then stay longer than 3 nights!

One of the best B&B's we have ever stayed in. Our room was immaculate and the attention to detail on the room and the rest of the guest house was faultless. Lovely seafront views which can be viewed from the guest house terrace, balconies and rooms. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Jena and Louis left no detail uncovered and gave us a wonderful welcome.

This is an absolutely stunning guest house, easily the highlight of our trip to the Cape. The location and views are superb, as is everything about the house itself from the fabulous rooms to the warm and ever helpful hospitality of Louis and Jena. We can't wait to go back.

At the top of the list of guest houses we have stayed in. Wonderful accommodation and hospitality. The views are superb! The breakfasts were absolutely superior. Great attention to detail throughout. We really felt at home and would recommend 138 Marine Drive to everybody. We shall most certainly stay there again.

138 has to be the most beautiful B&B we have ever stayed in! It is in a lovely quiet and safe area with outstanding views. Whales can be seen from the house. Jena & Louis are the perfect hosts they were extremely helpful. The house itself is finished to a very high standard and the attention to detail is second to none. We especially liked the turn down service at night and the lovely chocolates and rose petals!! You dont get that in your usual B&B. We stayed in the Coral room but saw the other rooms too and they are all beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic with a varied menu every day. Prices are very reasonable - you must stay here if you are looking for somewhere around Hermanus! We\'ll definitely be going back.
Review by: Charl & Marianne Fraser, Johannesburg (stayed: January 2009)

We had a delightful 4-night stay at 138 Marine Beachfront Guesthouse., a beautiful house with a stunning view. The sea is literally meters away and the interior is lovely. Jens and Louis' attention to details made the stay even more special; from the delicious breakfasts and fresh flowers throughout the house to the complimentary sherry & port from the local vineyards. The staff was friendly and helpful and we will recommend the guesthouse to anyone visiting the Hermanus area.
Review by: Gwen Guthrie, Orpington, UK (stayed: November 2008)

What a fantastic place! This was three days of heaven. The owners and staff were wonderfully welcoming both before and during the stay. It was like being with caring friends or family. Nothing was too much trouble. Accomodation.....absolutely superb. One of the best places I have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Breakfast..... great. Just what was needed to set us up for the day. Location.............terrific - quiet, tranquil, relaxing, with the sound of the sea and no crowds.

We loved this place and will go back at the first opportunity!
Review by: Yumna & Selim, Paris (stayed: October 2008)

It is one of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed in...pleasant and quite atmosphere. Great location; a few meters from the sea. Wonderful and smiley welcoming, friendly and helpful owners. Nice and polite staff.

It is a beautiful house with very nice, clean and comfortable rooms. Everything is tastefully arranged and designed. We were sure that all was done by an interior designer, and were surprised and impressed when we found out that it was done by the owner Jena, chapeau bas!

The sea views, even while having breakfast, is simply amazing.
In a word, it is a must, we had such a wonderful stay.
Review by: Misty & Frap, Austin, Texas (stayed: August 2008)

Since 1998, we have passed through or visited Hermanus several times and there are many lovely places where you can book a stay. Quite frankly, though, after our recent visit to 138Marine Beachfront Guesthouse, we will forever book our stays in Hermanus with Jena & Louis.

138Marine is wonderfully decorated with the perfect touches to remind you that you are enjoying a holiday by the sea. The rooms are spotless, bright and airy... and the linens... oh, the linens... are fresh, soft and comfortable.

The breakfast was deliciously prepared and delightfully presented. The presentation of our morning feast could only be emulated by a five-star restaurant in the business for 10 years! It was an excellent mix of food offerings and great service.

Finally, the most important aspect to note regarding our stay at 138Marine is the superb and quality attention we received. We enjoyed assistance with our dinner bookings, turn down of the bed linens, coffee upon our arrival and help with our laundry.

Overall, we cherished our stay at 138Marine and we look forward to returning in March/April of 2009 knowing that we will have another stellar experience! See you soon!

Loveliest Bed and Breakfast I have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. Every detail is perfect, crisp linen, lovely open refreshing layout and the views are spectacular. We had a fabulous stay at a very reasonable rate. The owners have got the mix of friendly attention and not stifling their guests just right. I am already planning our next stay there. I really liked the really beautiful way it is decorated and the friendly and professional approach of the owners.
